Washington Times Compares Gay Soldiers To Wheelchair-Bound Soldiers

I was a bit surprised yesterday when MJ didn’t award the asshat of the day award to the Washington Times editorial board for their truly bizarre and offensive editorial in defense of DADT.

The destructive force unleashed by the Pentagon’s collaboration with the leftist agenda is apparent from the circus created when homosexual activists like Dan Choi sashayed over to the Times Square recruiting center to make a political point in the short period in which the Phillips order was effective. Leftists are only interested in political points and symbolism here. Providing defense to the nation in the most effective way possible is the furthest thing from their mind. Treating military recruitment primarily as a diversity issue opens up a closet full of absurdities. On what basis, then, would the military discriminate against the elderly? Why can’t grandpa become a paratrooper? Should the military not reject someone merely because he is handicapped? Why not a wheelchair-bound infantryman?

The judiciary’s chieftains suffer no ill consequences when the unintended consequences of their decrees prove to be ruinous. That’s why answers to the thorny questions of public policy belong to the elected branches of government. Military leaders also need a reminder that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is still the law of the land, regardless of the personal desires of the commander in chief.

Wow, Lt. Dan Choi sashayed? And LGBT soldiers are like elderly or wheelchair-bound soldiers? My personal opinion – I think anyone who is healthy enough and willing to serve should be able to serve. I don’t have any objection to disabled soldiers serving in a capacity that they’re able. High-ranking officers are older already. I guess this makes me a lefty extremist pushing a radical agenda. That whole radical agenda that “all men are created equal.”
